Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
I am very passionate about helping men and women uncover and process the wounds of sexual abuse. This area is one of the main reasons I entered into this profession; to help uncover repressed memories, process them and authentically release the long held-back emotions and words to the protagonist that must be released to facilitate deep healing. We then have a beautiful forgiveness (if this is available to you) and compassion formula, followed by a chance to grow your inner child up into an emotionally mature adult, and integrate a new core emotional state of love. This is all part of the childhood regression. We also uncover any maladaptive emotions and beliefs attached to the abuse and replace, reframe and rewire them with healthy alternatives. There is also a motivational, inspirational component baked into the hypnotic programmings to bring the joy back to life.

Grief Recovery Center
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LPC, LCSW, LMFT, LP, LPA-IPA
Experiencing sexual abuse can be deeply traumatic and life-altering. Survivors often carry feelings of shame, fear, anger, anxiety, or powerlessness — emotions that do not simply fade with time. Healing requires safety, support, and compassionate care.
At Grief Recovery Center in Houston, our licensed therapists provide confidential, trauma-informed therapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families impacted by sexual abuse. We create a safe, nonjudgmental space where survivors can process their experiences, rebuild self-worth, and regain a sense of control.
Sexual abuse can affect every area of life, including relationships, intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. Our therapists use individualized, evidence-based approaches to help clients work through trauma at their own pace and begin restoring stability and empowerment.
You do not have to carry this alone. When you are ready to talk, we are here to listen — with care, respect, and understanding.
Call or text 832-413-2410 to schedule a confidential consultation. Healing is possible, and support is available when you’re ready.

15 Years Experience
Online in Baton Rouge, LA (Online Only)
Baton Rouge is home to Louisiana State University and serves as Louisiana's state capital, creating a therapy community shaped by student mental health demand, the pressures of government and healthcare careers, and the particular stressors of a Deep South city navigating racial and economic inequity. The city's African American community — which comprises roughly half the population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and the psychological weight of systemic inequity. Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center and Ochsner Health provide institutional mental health resources, while LSU's psychology programs supply clinical training to the local community. Baton Rouge's location in a high-flood-risk region means climate-related anxiety and disaster recovery are recurring themes that local therapists address alongside individual concerns.
